   Same here. Since I’ve gotten a mac a year or so ago, PS and AI hardly ever crash, but it is a good habit I learned over the years before.

   I’ve started saving in versions like the thing I’m working on now is saved as abstract2_1 and abstract2_2 because istarted taking it in a new direction and not sure how I feel about it. I’m the worst at remembering to save.

    I do the same man, i have multiple versions of everything but then always the original to go off on another tangent with.

    I save quite a lot just to make sure, kind of like an ocd tendency really

    I save, and I save multiple versions of everything...by the time I’m done a design (they usually take about 6 hours)I have on average 25 files of a single design. Sorry to hear you lost work.

    Is the reason why there is no autosave feature in PS & AI because it wouldn’t really be much use unless it saved as separate files at each interval, right? ...so when working in large file sizes it would chew up memory and storage space too fast. Does anybody know? I assume that’s the reason, but I’m just unsure exactly. As in depth as that software is, it doesn’t seem like a feature that Adobe has just overlooked for all these years. It sucks old balls when it crashes without having saved, though. I’ve been burned enough times that I’ve gotten into the habit of hitting cmd+s every 15 minutes or so. Now it no longer hurts when i pee.

    Think about it. ms word has it, gmail has it, even corel draw and paint have it. And the corel autosave/autobackup is really good (I use corel for outputting at work). And its corel. It is super possible and they have no excuse for not having it.

    InDesign has a great backup feature. It crashes like a motherfucker (way more than PS or AI IMO) but usually manages to save whatever you did last and lets you recover the data.

    why the f wouldn’t they include that in the other programs. idiots.

    I don’t know the actual answer to that, but I would guess it has to do with all of Photoshops raster goodness. Way too resource intensive and complicated to keep a detailed log of whatever you were doing in PS at any given second. With InDesign it’s all vector shapes, text or placed images. Thats just a matter of keeping track of all the objects on the page, their contents, size, positions, etc. When it crashes it’s not losing actual visual data, it can just restore the object frames to whatever state they had last been in and relink to whatever folder the images are in.

    Though with that theory, you would think Illustrator could do the same thing. I bet it will happen in future Creative Suites. Besides, they need to keep coming up with "new" features so people will upgrade.
